What about not just cook, but grow it at your back-yard? :-)

Have you considered "guerrilla gardening" and repurposing wasted space around you? Buying a large amount of personal land is not a prerequisite.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_gardening

Bold of you to assume I'm not growing my own food.

Can't you just grow the plant yourself though?

Quit programming and start growing food.

Probably start a community garden. Be careful though, some cities hate their citizens being able to grow their own food

As a recreational project with "perhaps some micronutrients" as a side, gardening without the box would work too.
